[WHAT NOW: Campus Politics and Governance Teaser]

Representation is often talked about in student spaces, but what does it truly mean to participate, be heard, and contribute to the decisions that affect our community? 🫂

As we deal with issues of leadership and governance, representation is not just about elections. It is about participation and shared responsibility.

Stay tuned for WHAT NOW: Campus Politics and Governance. 👀

[DLSU POLISCY’s Statement on the current Political Climate of the Philippines]

In the last months, as injustice is normalized and accountability becomes optional. DLSU POLISCY refuses to be silent as it becomes a form of tolerance.

Our country faces yet again a period of political uncertainty and danger, the nation and its people continues to witness how self-interest, patronage, violence, and abuse of power persist within the institutions that are supposed to discard these practices and uphold the law. From the inhumane killings of civilians through armed conflicts to the dangers of red-tagging, the consistent neglect of urgent needs of the people amid the political disputes, today’s political climate shows a government being detached from the realities faced by ordinary Filipinos.

At the same time, the public officials who are supposed to embody accountability are consistently implicated in corruption scandals and human rights issues. As they continue to evade accountability, they also expose the unequal justice system that often favors those who are in power.

In these situations, we are reminded that our democracy cannot be sustained by our institutions alone, but by its people who are willing to question, demand, and remember those who govern. A Filipino is one who continues to stand for truth, accountability, and a government that genuinely serves the public.

Makinig. Makielam. Manindigan.

[ 🏥 HELP NEEDED FOR LOLA EMILIA]
Malaya Lola Emilia, sister of the late Malaya Lola President Isabelita Vinuya, was rushed to the hospital night of May 4, 2026 due to cough and colds, lowered oxygen and sudden forgetfulness. Test results as of May 6 show her blood sugar went down and there is infection in her blood.

With permission from the family, we have posted these info and QR code to the Gcash of Lola Emilia’s granddaughter Ms. Sheila Salvador. Any amount given through this channel would be very much appreciated 🙏🏼 and would help ease the high cost of hospitalization, which has reached over 60,000 pesos as of May 7 and is increasing as Lola Emilia continues to get the medical attention she needs. Donations from the international community are also welcome. 🌏

❕🧾 Please send screenshot proof of transaction to the inbox 📥 of Malaya Lolas Volunteer Network as we monitor donations and forward them to Ms Sheila.

It is the obligation of the Philippine government under the UN Committee on Elimination on All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ♀️ to implement a nationwide reparations program for the Malaya Lolas and all other Filipina survivors of wartime sexual slavery (commonly known as comfort women) that includes regular and adequate healthcare, which are one of the most pressing and primary needs of the Lolas due to their advanced age. The cost of healthcare support should come from the government, and not to largely depend on private donations. The latter is the compromise we take due to the urgent nature of Lola Emilia’s situation.
